What is PayPal Support for Calendars?
PayPal Support for Calendars adds PayPal as a payment gateway in Service (v2), Round-Robin, Collective, and Personal calendars. Once connected, PayPal appears at checkout so bookers can pay with their PayPal balance, linked bank, or card. You control pricing per calendar and collect the funds directly in your PayPal account.
Key Benefits of PayPal Support for Calendars
- Offer one-click checkout; no card entry required for PayPal customers.
- Works side-by-side with Stripe, Square, NMI, and Authorize .net—clients pick the method they prefer.
- Instant fund settlement in your PayPal dashboard.
- Fully PCI-compliant; GHL Customer Care never stores PayPal credentials.
Supported Payment Providers
GHL Customer Care calendars now support:
- PayPal (new)
- Stripe
- Authorize .net
- NMI
- Square
- Razorpay*
PayPal and Razorpay cannot both be active at the same time. If both are connected, Razorpay will be used by default.
PayPal Compatibility & Limitations
This section clarifies where PayPal does—and does not—work so you can avoid setup issues.
- Supported for all Calendar types and new Services (v2).
- Not supported for the legacy Service Menu (v1).
- Cannot be combined with Razorpay; Razorpay becomes the default if both are connected.
- Follows the same currency, partial-payment, and coupon rules already in Calendar Payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
